Go ahead and judge, it's fine. I already judge myself when I read the following sentence...

So, the kids have been listening to Kidz Bop. We got a bunch of them out of the library, and E and M both LOVE the song Paparazzi. E insisted for two weeks that Brittany Spears sings the original version, and I just couldn't keep my mouth shut. I could not let her think that, I just could not bear it. So I told her that I was "pretty sure" it wasn't Brittany...and after several conversations I said, "Fine. I'm going to get a Lady Gaga CD and play you the real song." Which I did.

After quietly listening to ma Lady, E stated (very definitively), "Wow. She has got a GREAT voice." "Yes," I agreed. "Yes, she does." And so, after an internal battle that lasted several minutes, I played them most of the rest of the double CD set. I did manage to cut off a few questionable lyrics mid-sentence, but they got a good taste of it. And they loved it. M said, "Play that one again with the he ate my heart." Emma is requesting "Telephone," also better than the Kidz Bop version, and "Alejandro."

I did not intend for this to happen. E told me the other day, "You are the best Mom because you let us listen to Lady Gaga. Most of the other mothers don't." Whoopsie.

About Me

Just me, being me. Life is full of wonderful things...bare baby feet are at the top of the list. Sometimes I want to write about this amazing life, and sometimes I just want to complain. So I guess I'm just another average person, finding my way through life.
